Mother of thyme, also known as creeping thyme or wild thyme, is a low-growing, mat-forming perennial

Mother of thyme, also known as creeping thyme or wild thyme, is a low-growing, mat-forming perennial herb prized for its fragrant foliage and small, often pink-purple, flowers. It is a popular choice for ground cover due to its ability to spread and root along trailing stems, creating a dense, carpet-like appearance.

Doublebonus: ground cover means LESS MULCH. I.Hate.Mulching. If you hate mulching as much as I do, a creeping thyme might be just what the doctor ordered!
